KURUS Production Diary - 'Carmen Soo Day 2'

By the time I was writing this post, I've already completed the shoot for KURUS (24th of November, one day ahead of schedule) and gone home. I'm going to start work on the editing rather soon.

Before I move on, here are more photos from 'Carmen Soo Day 1' (20th of Nov) that was taken with a digital SLR:

'Carmen Soo Day 2' was the most interesting day of the entire shoot because we were going to shoot classroom scenes with a large number of extras that consist of friends and family members of the primary cast members. Doing these scenes were like reliving high school life again! 5 years felt so long ago.

We shot at a classroom in SJK (C) Kampung Baru Semenyih (I mentioned about it in this post)

And finally, a photo of Ming Jin the director (in grey), me (in orange, and a horrifying tan) and Aaron the cinematographer (in white) preparing for the next shot while Carmen watches on.

That day was an enjoyable one, and definitely less grueling compared to the previous day since we didn't have to run that much, nor stay under the scorching sun. The scenes were challenging to shoot, especially when we had such a number of extras to orchestrate, yet everything turned out fine and everyone had a lot of fun. Days like this remind me why I love filmmaking.
